Hi!

My VSG date is 16th of November 2010 which is just a few days away. I'm feeling a little anxious already, but i stay motivated looking at the success stories in this forum.

I am a 25-year-old Male from Bangalore, India. I am currently 266 pounds and my goal weight is 161 pounds. So i have over 100 pounds to lose. Current BMI: 41.5

The doctor is Mr. Rajshekar Nayak (http://rnayak.com/about.php) of Gunaseela Hospital, who has already performed over 50 VSG's and over 90 Gastric Bypass surgeries. Recently he was featured in a newspaper for performing the surgery with just a single incision of 1 inch under the belly button. Here's the link to the feature: One inch wonder

He is a well known surgeon and i also spoke with a few of the peeps who underwent VSG from him, and they're very happy that they did it.

I asked Doc if I should bring anything along with me on the day of Surgery, he said to bring just the diagnostic test reports and to get admitted in the hospital the day before surgery. But i want to know if there's something that would help me stay comfortable.

I'll start blogging about my journey, and this is my first entry.

Pray for me!

Namaste.
